From the Staller Center's Recital Hall, the Emerson String Quartet performs.
Concert begins at 30 minutes.
Benjamin Britten praised the “clarity, brilliance, tenderness, and strangeness” of fellow English composer Henry Purcell’s music, arranging Purcell’s Chacony for a string quartet. This arrangement opens the Emerson String Quartet’s upcoming Explorers Series program. Beethoven’s mighty String Quartet in A minor (op. 132) follows, one of the composer’s most celebrated chamber works written in the final years of his life.
The Emerson String Quartet and Music@Menlo Audience Engagement Director Patrick Castillo will introduce and discuss these works before the performance, and you can read the program notes at this link: [ Ссылка ]
